Liberation Day will liberate us from any financial stability.
Baghdad Barbie Leavitt: "My understanding is that the tariff announcement will come tomorrow. They will be effective immediately ... he's talked a lot about April 2 as 'Liberation Day' for America.
It would be taking place today if not for April Fools Day."
Investors are seeing red on Monday as the stock market and major indexes continue their downward plunge ahead of Donald Trump’s expected April 2 announcement of a sprawling tariffs package, which the president is billing as “Liberation Day.”
Trump is expected to enact a massive economic package that will match foreign tariffs against American goods, and end the month-long delay on planned tariffs against Canada and Mexico, the U.S.’s largest and most significant trade partners. The recent market slide, which began in earnest on Friday, was compounded over the weekend amid growing fears that the president’s economic plans will send shockwaves through the global economy — and several less that reassuring statements from Trump.
In a weekend interview with NBC News, Trump said he “couldn’t care less,” if his planned 25 percent tariff plan on foreign automobiles raised prices for American consumers. “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty,” he said. On Sunday night, the president told reporters on Air Force One that he planned to start by implementing tariffs against “all countries,” and whittle down exceptions as he sees fit.
